General George Sheridan in his lee
ture "a Modern Pagan" which was
delivered in Washington Sunday night,
estimated Ingersoll quite accurately
when he said: "No man has ever as
sailed the Christian religion with more
eloquence, less skill, worse logic, so
much conceit and so little learning.
In discussing the question of Christ
ianity, Ingersoll creates superior issues.
He neither comprehends nor appreci-
ates the excellencies and magnitude of
the achievements among us of the
system he SO fippantly assails. Rel
atlve to God, His ways and works, In
gersoll manifests curiosity that is as
senseless as it is idle, Impairment and
disrespectful. He never met but one
able man, the late Judge Jere Black,
and then, the instant he felt the steel,
he ran from the field

THE SIOUX CITY TRAGEDY.

The trial Of John Arensdorf for the
murder Of George G. Haddock has end.
ed, not in farce, but rather in the
second act of tragedy, whose theme
is the martyrdom of man for convict
ions sake. There is nothing farcical
IN the spectacle of truth, honor, and
manhood trampled in the mire of per-
jury, bribery. and violation of the sac
red forms Of law. No act can be deem
ed ludircous which faunts defiance of
justice in the face of an outraged peo-
Pile. Let the verdict of this Woodbury.
county jury be whispered with bated
breath and with cheeks ahame from
modification. Let it be named only
as reproach to community which
processes claim to the benefits of
civilization.
Nearly four weeks ago this cause
was brought before tribunal presided
over by an upright judge. Preparation
had been made for its presentation by
as able prosecutor as can be found in
Iowa, who had called to his assistance
some of the most experienced legal tai
ents Of the state. Slowly, in the face
of the bitterest opposition, the most
phenomenal apathy on the part of the
leading citizeus of Sioux City and the
great religious body with which DR..
Haddock in his life time was associated,
the work of gathering facts proceeded.
On every hand obstacles were planted
in the pathway to truth by those who
should have been eager to lift the stig-
ma from the city's name. A jury was
chosen-let the future determine in
what manner and by what means. The
prosecution presented, in spite of its
discouragements, case so conclusive
against the defendent that even the
skeptics as to his guilt were forced to
condemn him. The defense brought
forward only tissue of fabrications,
mesh of false evidence, and a contra
dictory theory of innocence. When
the arguments were reached the state
explained lucidly, convincingly, the
foundation and superstructure of its
edifice, so that no reasoning man should
have moments hesitation in determ-
lining its completeness and stability.
The sophistry Of the defense was ex-
posed beyond a doubt. Even the
Judges charge contained rebuke to a
juror unparalleled in the history of the
bench. Notwithstanding all this the
Jury al voted for acquittal with the

How to Plant Trees.

I. Horner, the Mulberry tree agent,
and Superintendent State Silk Station,
contributes to the Larned Chronoscope
some timely hints on tree planting:
We reproduce the article:
Having spent much of my time for
the past few years in the interest of tree
culture on the arid plains of the west,
especially in southwestern Kansas, and
having observed during my short stay
in your prospective city that the trees
are suffering seriously from the false
method Of irrigation adopted by your
willing tree planters. l arise up in be-
half of the suffering trees and pray the
tree planters to exercise good common
sense and serve their trees as they
themselves would wish to be treated.
To scoop out a basin at the collar Of
tree and flood it with cold water from
a we'll is an outrage on common sense,
ana in time of drouth has the same
effect upon tree as sudden change
from the engine room of steel mill
into tank of cold water would have
upon the human system. Even to the
untutored tree planter, at a moments
reflection this fact cannot be evaded.
l desire to call halt and recommend
better method. Elevate the earth
slightly at the collar of your trees;
keep the earth well cultivated by turn
ing it over to good depth with a spade
to distance of three or four feet from
the tree in circular form; run the irri-
eating channel about four feet from the
row Of trees, and when in contract with
the cultivated bed obstruct the chan
mel and cause the water to pass around
the elevated cultivated tree bed, and on
to the next tree which is treated in
like manner. This method is in accor-
dance with natures demand, admitting
a gradual approach of moisture and
feeding the fibrous roots through which
the trunk receives nourishment; and
likewise obviates sudden change from
extreme wet to dry, and vice versa.

GOOD TIMES PREDICTED.

Senator Morrill,, chairman of the FL
nance Committe of the Senate, still re-
mains in Washington, where he has a
handsome residence. He says the fnan-
cial outlook is much more favorable than
he anticipated last year. He dom believe
there will be any crisis to- call for an
extra session. There are he says 5000, :
600, 900 more in circulation now than the
estimates of those who predicted a rapid
contraction thought there would be.
Should any trouble arise, Mr. Morrill, says
there is nothing to prevent the Secretary
of the Treasury from buying bonds after
July 1, and whatever premium is paid for
them in open market will be returned in
the end to the government by the saving
of interest.

The Dodge City Times copied an arti-
Gle last week from the Garden City Sen
tinel referring to the soil of Southwestern
Kansas, its fertility and general excellent
features, naming number of counties in
this section, but purposely or accidently
naming every county adjoining Meade
county, even to those three counties dis
lance and emitting the best county in the
whole collection, that of Meade. What S
the matter?-Meade Center Republican.
We published the article as we found
it. Up in Garden City they do not know
such county as Meade county. Meade
county once formed portion of Ford
county. Since it was restored to it's old
lines the fact has not become known a;
Garden City. BY the way, the Repub-
lican editor is pursuing the right course
as a stranger to make himself known.
He is finding good deal of fault. We
hope he is mt crank.

TIMELY HINTS.

The Newton Republican gives some
timely suggestions:
No city has any moral right to remain
unclean, for it is fact that dirt and filth
derpesses the moral as well as the physical
tone of a community. Foul streets and
cesspools of filth impress upon the people
of the immediate locality marks Of moral
deterioration which ages cannot efface.
Perfect moral and physical health can on
ly exist in cleanliness, and in cities clean
illness can only be secured by the action
of the authorities. If our city officials in
sist on every place being put in order and
kept SO, something they should do, every
citizen should promptly and uncomplain-
ingly obey.

exception of J. D. O. Connell, who de-
clared that the duty he owed to him
self and his God would not permit a
reversal of that judgement. Mr.. o.
Cornell alleges that friend Of the de-
PENDANT who knew before the jury re-
tired how it was to vote begged Of him
''to name his price"
There can be but Que opinion con-
corning the result. A momentary tri-
umph has been achieved. not by John
Arensdorf-for he is merely the victim
of craftier men-but by the cabal which
has put him to the front. Sioux City
must arise and crush out the venom
GUS breed that infests her domain OF
be herself stung to the death. The
state of Iowa must arise in the might
of righteous indignation and obliterate
the crimson stain on her escutcheon.
Law must be shown in the vigor of its
superiority to crime; truth must be
made to shine out in its bri]liancy ovel
perjury; and the power of city and state
authority must be manifested over the
Vaccinations of individual conspirators
or the credit of that municipality auc
the dignity of that state will become
the subject of contempt in the minds

Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1887-04-28


The disagreement of the jury in the
Haddock murder trial at Sioux City,
To-, is not surprising when all the cir
cumstances are taken into account.
There were grounds for reasonable
legal doubt as to the guilt of the ac-
cused, and the defense had the benefit
of the anti-temperance class of the
community. But the ugly fact re-
mains that a Christian minister was
killed in cold blood solely because of
his energetic efforts to secure the en-
forcement of law of the State forbid
ing the sale of liquor: and facts of that
kind are permanent and most potent
forces in the promotion of temperance
sentiment among thoughtful and reputa-
BILE people.

A CYCLONE.

A terrific cyclone swept over the
northern part of Vernon county, Mo-,
Thursday night last. About 6 O'Clock
the clouds were plainly visible there, pas
sing only about six miles from the city.
The cyclone seemed to come down the
Marmaton river from the Kansas line,
dealing death and destruction, where ever
it struck. So far as can be learned the
first place it struck was Metz township
passing through Metz, Usage and Blue
Mound townships Fences, houses, barns
and everything in the line of the storm,
which was half mile wide, was picked
up. rent into splinters, and cast down
hundreds of yards away. Trees were
torn up by the roots. Over thirty houses
were destroyed, and about fifteen persons
killed. Only a partial list of the dead
has yet been obtained, which is as follows:
Mrs E. Shrout, Miss Shrout, daughter of
Mrs Shrout, May Slower, J.,C. Hawkins,
John Miller and Mrs John Miller. There
were five members of the Miller family,
four of whom were killed The baby,
aged two years, was dropped in the yard
and was found unhurt. Next morning
part of the Miller house and furniture
were found strewn over the fields for
mile from where the house formerly stood.
Reliable news has only been received
from Usage township, and it is thought
that the death roll will be swelled to over
twenty-five. A heavy gale passed over
Nevada damaging the Methodist church
and other buildings, but none were seri-
ously injured.

LOTS OF PEACHES.

The prospects for an unusually large
crop of fruit, especially peaches, are very
favorable in New Jersey. At conyen-
ton of prominent peach growers of
Warren and Hunterdon counties recently
held, it was generally admitted that there
would be an unusually large crop of fruit
this year, especially peaches. One gen
tleman said the crop the coming season
would be the heaviest known for years.
